Hey there.

Is MsBuild.exe /t:Rebuild working correctly when SonarQube is not in the picture (when you don’t run the first step?)

Hi Colin,

I have run 1st step to begin, later only executing this MsBuild.exe /t:Rebuild command.

Thanks,

And, does MsBuild.exe /t:Rebuild work when you don’t run the begin step at all?

Yes, it is running and showing same issue about framework version again. And as suggested i have installed 4.5.1 framework version as 4.5V is not available, but then also it is showing issue as below.

If you’re facing an issue running MsBuild.exe /t:Rebuild when the scanner is not involved, there’s not much help we can provide. You should work on having a successful compilation of your code, and then add in the SonarQube analysis.
